Boy, that moment when their daughter comes down the stairs was stunning and well done. Kinda heartbreaking to hear Katie pleading that she doesn’t want him to change her life. Later when he promises that he won’t, he’s not really lying, is he?

RE: Livia’s wedding
Dan’s seen himself in the past, which is like a memory really, but I wonder how often Livia has seen herself (and her husband? kids?) in the future. Dan changes something in the past and it has ramifications for his present, but what about seeing how your life plays out before it happens?

So now it seems like the journeying phenomenon is courtesy of some astronomical event. I was thinking maybe it was engineered somehow. Do you think the journeying is totally under their control? Sure seems like Dan is now deciding when to go (and possibly when he’ll show up) and when he’ll return. Earlier I was leaning toward some Powers That Be with a master plan for the journeymen and women, but maybe not.

Obviously there are those that aim to control or exploit them, though. I hope we get at least a taste of that in tonight’s episode. No complete or satisfying answers I’m sure. Which is fine…I’d like to find out over a few seasons!

Not mad at Livia in lingerie.

One of the things a friend of mine wrote about Journeyman is that for the non-time traveling regular characters, there isn’t much movement in their stories and that is kind of annoying.

While I disagree with that, I get why someone could feel that way with Kate. Although the psychic pretty much explained that her being kind of stuck in time while Dan jumps in and out of time is an intentional plot/story device, if Kate is the character you identify with that isn’t a very compelling reason to watch.

She seems too smart and independent to not be doing more with this situation. She’s a journalist but doesn’t do any investigation (that we see) on time travel or Dan’s adventures or getting out. She just lies for Dan to increasingly painful/awkward degrees.

That’s one of the weak points of the show. One of the very few.

I’m bummed we won’t get a Livia episode before the first 13 are done.
